Vice President Joe Biden accused Rep. Paul Ryan of putting two wars on the “credit card,” and then suggested he voted against the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

“By the way, they talk about this great recession like it fell out of the sky–like, ‘Oh my goodness, where did it come from?’” Biden said. “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, at the same time, put a prescription drug plan on the credit card, a trillion dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.”

Then Sen. Biden voted for the Afghanistan resolution on Sept. 14, 2001 which authorized “the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.”

And on Oct. 11, 2002, Biden voted for a resolution authorizing unilateral military action in Iraq, according to the Washington Post.

Too bad Ryan didn't call him on that... He who lies without being challenged, is effectively telling the truth. People aren't going to go look it up, they're going to take him at face value.

agreed 100%. Obama should have been sharp enough, and konwn policy/positions well enough to call out romney for his bullshit.

love him or hate him, ol' blowhard Joe was VERY good at calling out Ryan for any mis-truths he spoke. "My friend the congressman has it wrong here..." was only said about 80 times. Obama should have done that, and ryan should have done that.

There is NO bigger pwning in politics than calling someone on a lie with proof. But ya gotta be quick to be able to nail it on the fly.
